April has been a busy month for UVE, culminating in a trip to Portugal by Jackie and Abbey for the Savory Global Network reunion.

In lieu of Abbey's letter this month, we thought we'd take a moment to celebrate all that has been sprouting in the Northern Hemisphere's spring, including the partnerships and people for which we are grateful.

For many of us, it has been a long and harsh winter, and as the skies clear and temperatures warm, it feels like a good time to take a moment to breathe and take stock of where we stand on the warming soil surface at this moment.

At UVE, we often say we are in the "relationship business." For this month's note, let us appreciate the gift of being able to do the work of regeneration with incredible land stewards, organizations, and individuals - including all of the animals we care for to uplift the voice of the Ecosystem.

Spring is upon us!
